HE Breakfast on Extra Easy - ok without 1/3 superfree??

[gemma1985]

So as an old style SW'er I am now trying to incorporate EE days rather than just sticking to red and green days, but was wondering if I use me HE B choice for breakfast i.e. Alpen Light bars as rushing around on a morning these are so handy would they be ok just to eat on their own as I'm using my HE or do I need to be eating fruit with these??

Weekends aren't so bad I'll be able to sit and eat breakfast so I usually make porridge and chuck in loads of berries etc but was wondering if the 1/3 counts if using your HE?? And these fill me I usually have one first thing and another mid morning but would hate to think I'm mucking it by not getting the fruit in there with them....

As far as a I know you can eat them by themselves.
It's like when you have milk in tea or cereal I don't have a 1/3 then.

Ok thanks, I do struggle to get fruit in on a morning rushing to work it's easy just to stick to the 2 Alpen Lights!

Hi - iveread that the 1/3 is there o ensure you are filled up on low fat food. I can see how this would work if you were having a main meal and you fill a third of your plate with super free before anything else. I struggle with breakfast cos like yo it I usuall heb so measured any way. Mind you I still try to have my super free by having fruit - usually banana - before my breakfast ( usually a toasted low low cheese and ham quorn sandwich with tomato). I always eat my brekkie on the go as the later I have the less likely I'll needed a mid morning snack!

yes that was my thinking the 1/3 superfree is to fill you up i.e. stop you eating more as part of a main meal so my thinking was if you're just eating your HEB allowance surely that would be ok?? I am the same though and try to eat some fruit too but then just feel like i'm eating it for the sake of it, and surely that defeats the object...??

iv just started slimming world again but i have done it before for and i lost 3 stone and every morning i was eating 2 alpen light bars as they were convenient and 2 filled me. i was averaging on loosing 2lbs a week back then so dont worry. eating them on a morning without your superfree foods will be fine just make sure you get eough of your suprfree when your hungry instead of snacking on other things.
hope this helps x
